Let's hope so!

Do NOT try this at home

"Oh I know this one."

"When I was a kid, we had a Guinness book of records lying around that we liked to browse in while bored."

"There was this one guy in it who held a record for most bikes eaten."

"No, you did read that right."

"He ground up a bike and slowly consumed it over I don't know how long a time."

"The record was accompanied by a note that no further records of bike eating would be accepted, as it was deemed too dangerous."- Picajosan

They made sure this will never happen again

"The longest professional tennis match of all time."

"John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon 2010."

"It lasted 11 hours 5 minutes, spanning 3 days of play, with a final score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68"

"It was already nearly twice as long as the previous record holder."

"The reason it will likely never be broken is that every professional tournament except for one, Roland-Garros, now has tiebreaker rules that limit the number of games that can be played in final sets."

"Although it’s hypothetically possible at RG, clay court tennis is not at all conducive to the serve-and-volley style of play that led to the insanely long 5th set of Isner-Mahut."- MSims2992

"California here I come..."

"The current record for the Cannonball Run, a drive from NY to LA, is about 25.5 hours."

"It was set in May of 2020, and the drivers were able to make use of the lack of traffic due to the pandemic to break the record."

"Barring another similar world changing event, traffic conditions will probably never be what they were when that record was set."- SexyNeanderthal

Any other challengers?

"Greco-Roman wrestler."

"Entered 9 world championships and never lost a bout in them."- minorboozer

Winning is just showing up.

"Glenn Hall played 502 consecutive games as an NHL goalie."

"Zero chance that will ever be broken, goalies these days rarely play more than 3/4 of an 82-game season, let alone numerous seasons without a night off."- ButtholeQuiver

Whoosh!

"Surprised no one mentioned the unlimited water speed record."

"The current unlimited record is 511.11 km/h (317.59 mph)."

"Achieved by Australian Ken Warby in the Spirit of Australia in 1978."

"It hasn’t been broken to this day due to how dangerous it is to go at those sort of speeds on the surface and plenty of people have passed away trying."- Sliiated

"I'll be waiting, waiting for you..."

"The longest non consecutive billboard 200 album streak belongs to none other than, The Dark Side Of the Moon by Pink Floyd."

"It currently has been on the chart for 962 weeks."

"Second in line is Legend, by Bob Marley and the Wailers, at 733 weeks, meaning Marley and the wailers would need almost 4.5 years of time on the charts, with Floyd being absent, in order to take the number one spot."- Floyd-Van-Zeppelin

Less Than Glorious Distinction..

"Boy do I have some!"

"I don't know if this was posted before, but the record fastest penalty ever received in F1is held by Sebastian Vettel."

"He got a penalty just 6 seconds after his debut in F1 for speeding in the pit lane."

"After his FP3 problems, the team then reverted back to the FP1 unit but changed to a new turbocharger, control electronics and MGU-H, resulting in him getting a 70 place penalty."

"Only 22 cars on the grid."

"Out of the 24 cars that started, all 24 were running at the chequered flag."

"The 'honour' of bringing up the rear fell to Narain Karthikeyan, whose 24th place remains the lowest finish in F1 history."- thatoneF1fan

"The highest efficiency and a near impossibility to beat unless they sneak a cyborg in there at some point."- Emergency-War7360

GOAL!!!!

"Largest winning margin in a legitimate and contested professional football match."

"Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord."

"This took place in a Scottish Cup first round tie in 1885."

"Some interesting facts about the game:"

"Arbroath keeper Jim Milne did not touch the ball then entire game and 'spent most of the match sheltering from the rain under a supporter's umbrella'."

"

Arbroath had 5 goals disallowed."

"Arbroath player John Petrie, 18 at the time, holds the joint record for most goals scored in a legitimate, professional football match with 13."

"Not so much to do with the record but while this game was being played another Tayside team was playing an Aberdeen side in the form of Dundee Harp vs Aberdeen Rovers."

"That match ended 37-0 according to the referee who was thought to have lost count and was corrected by the Dundee Harp secretary who had only counted 35 goals go in for his team."

"The Lower total was submitted to the SFA and so the record was set by Arbroath that day and not the Harp."- andrewtaskerr

"Football."

"5 goals in 9 minutes by Robert lewandowski."-

There is a likely chance that these records will never, in fact, never be broken.

But one has little doubt that people will continue to try.

And power to anyone attempting to sell more video cassettes than The Lion King.
